(Preparation of Finishing Agent)

Example 83

10 kg of the composition for blending in a finishing agent (Example 68), 10 L of ethanol, 0.1 kg of methyl parahydroxybenzoate, proper amount of perfume, proper amount of aromatic material dispersant and such amount of water as the total volume of the finishing agent would be 100 L were added in order with stirring, and then mixed homogeneously. Thus, finishing agent (Example 83) of the present invention was prepared.

(Preparation of Thickening Agent Used On Preparing Hair Treating Agent)

Example 84

62 kg of the composition for blending in thickening agent used on preparing hair treating agent (Example 69), 4 kg of cetyl octanoate, 12 kg of 1,3-butylene glycol and 0.1 kg of methyl parahydroxybenzoate were mixed and heated to 80° C., and then dissolved homogeneously. This homogeneously dissolved material was added with stirring to water, which had been heated to 80° C., and then dissolved homogeneously. Such amount of water as the total weight of the thickening agent used on preparing hair treating agent would be 100 kg was added. Thus, thickening agent used on preparing hair treating agent of the present invention was prepared.

30 kg of the obtained thickening agent used on preparing hair treating agent (Example 84) was added to 70 kg of the afore-mentioned waving agent (Example 59) to prepare new another type of waving agent. It was confirmed by visual inspection that the waving agents had changed from fluid state to gel stage. Further, the organoleptic tests of this new type of waving agent were carried out as follows. The results of organoleptic tests were summarized in Table 17.

(The Organoleptic Tests About Hair Treating Effects of the Hair Treating Agents)

Hair treating were carried out to 50 monitors by the following methods. And the results of the organoleptic tests about hair treating effects (i.e. feel when used and characteristic properties) of the hair treating agents were obtained. The results of organoleptic tests were summarized in Table 17.

The Method for Hair Treating with Hair Conditioners

After ordinary shampoo, a specimen of hair conditioners (Examples 70) was applied to hair and spread by combing, and then rinsed and dried using a dryer.

The Method for Hair Treating with Waving Agents

In a Case of Curling Type Permanent Wave

No.1 agent of the waving agent (Example 71˜82) was applied to hair and spread by combing, and the hair was wound to a rod and left for 7 minutes at room temperature. Then No.2 agent was applied by an applicator and left for 7 minutes. Repeatedly, No.2 agent was applied by an applicator and left for 7 minutes. Next, the rod was removed, and the hair was rinsed and dried using a dryer.

In a Case of Straight Type Permanent Wave

No.1 agent of the waving agent (new type of waving agent prepared in Example 84) was applied to hair and spread by combing and the hair was formed to the straight shape. Then, the hair was left for 10 minutes. After that, No.2 agent was applied to hair and spread by combing, further left for 10 minutes, and finally, rinsed and dried using a dryer.

The Method for Hair Treating with Finishing Agents

The finishing agent (Example 83) was applied to hair and spread.
